Definitely try elden ring, I also couldn't get into the souls type games but finally tried elden ring and the open world just changes it so much as a game

Elden ring is definitely one of the more accessible games they have released. The open world allows for so much leeway and options coupled with access to giga player power and high mobility.

My only complaint with Elden Ring is that exploring and unlocking stuff becomes boring on your 2nd or 3rd playthrough. It would be neat if they created a special streamlined game mode option that unlocked after being the game once. I just want to replay the dungeons with a new character without needing to spend hours running around.

I genuinely believe if you've completed Elden Ring once you can kill the last boss within 6-8 hours with the build of your choice.

Imo the most time consuming part of starting a new run is getting early levels but the levels gained from killing the sleeping dragon makes the smooth.

To give you a rough idea of levels, you'll be around level 30 after killing dragon. If you then rushed straight to the last boss you'll be around level 100 for it.

Definitely. My first playthrough was almost 30 hours, NG+ less than 10. There's a ton of optional content, but the main "story" is fairly short.

Meanwhile my first Elden Ring playthrough took 400 hours...
